FAQs
What material are these eye bolts made from?
These eye bolts are manufactured from steel for strength and durability.
What does 'zinc plated' mean for the finish?
Zinc plating is a protective coating applied to the steel to provide resistance against rust and corrosion, making the bolts suitable for outdoor use.
How do I adjust the gate using these eye bolts?
The nuts threaded onto the eye bolt can be tightened or loosened using a spanner. Adjusting these nuts will raise or lower the gate, allowing you to correct alignment issues.
Can I use these for sliding gates?
No, these eye bolts are specifically designed for swing gates.
What is the thread size and length of these bolts?
The thread size is M20 (20mm) and the thread length is 150mm.
Does this pack include everything needed to attach one gate?
This listing is for two gate eye bolts, each complete with two nuts. This is typically sufficient for one standard swing gate.
Are these suitable for very heavy gates?
Made from steel, they offer good strength. However, suitability for very heavy gates depends on the gate's weight distribution and the mounting method. Always ensure secure attachment to a robust gate post.
Troubleshooting
Gate is difficult to swing after installation.
Ensure the gate is not rubbing against the frame or ground. Use the adjustable nuts on the eye bolts to fine-tune the gate's height and alignment. Check that the eye bolt is securely fastened to the post and gate.
Eye bolt nuts are difficult to turn.
Ensure you are using the correct size spanner. If threads appear seized, a small amount of penetrating lubricant may help. Check for any debris or damage on the threads.
Rust spots appearing on the surface.
Minor rust may occur over time, especially in harsh environments. Clean the affected area gently with a wire brush and apply a metal-friendly lubricant or protective coating for added longevity. Ensure the surrounding areas are clean and dry.
